Demonstrations with Amphenol FCI

Credo will conduct two demonstrations with Amphenol FCI. The first will show 56G NRZ transport over FCI’s ExaMAX® direct-mate orthogonal interconnect system. The second demonstration will show 56G PAM-4 transport over the same architecture.

“Now that FCI is a member of the Amphenol family, we can collaborate with our sister divisions to offer an unmatched portfolio of high-speed interconnect solutions,” said Dana Bergey, signal integrity manager at Amphenol FCI. “ExaMAX® connectors have become a very popular choice for 28G applications around the globe, including standard backplane, midplane, mezzanine, coplanar, and direct-mate orthogonal versions. We are excited to work with Credo to show how ExaMAX products can successfully pass 56GB signals—error-free—with all the popular encoding techniques.”

Demonstration with Lorom

Credo will conduct two demonstrations with Lorom. In addition to driving error-free 28G signals across standard Lorom Emaxx cables at lengths up to eight meters, the Credo 28G SerDes IP evaluation platform will be leveraged to demonstrate error-free transmission acrossLorom’s light-weight and highly flexible three-meter and five-metercables in both SFP and QSFP form factors.

“The combination of Lorom’s advanced cabling technology and Credo’s industry leading SerDes technology enables signals to be pushed farther in length, across cables with smaller outer diameters, without the need for FEC,” said Henning Hansen, chief operating officer of The Lorom Group. “The small size, light weight and extreme malleability of these cables should have a profound impact on front-panel datacenter rack connectivity.

Demonstrations with Molex

Credo will conduct two demonstrations withMolex. For the first demonstration,Credo will supply transmitting and receiving electronics, showing error-free 56G NRZ and 56G PAM-4 live serial traffic on the zQSFP+™form factor using a high-speed copper cable. The second demonstration will highlight the Molex Impel™ backplane cable assembly driving 56G speeds in both NRZ and PAM-4 applications.

“This demonstration will highlight the feasibility of running extremely high, next-generation data rates, even on form factors that are already in use,” said Joe Dambach, product manager, Molex. “By pairing our advanced cabling solutions with Credo SerDes technology, we can show groundbreaking signal integrity performance at very high speeds.”
